Joseph Ambrose Banks sociologist, born January 5, 1920; died November 13, 2005. He was the leading authority of his generation on the Victorian family and its rapid reduction in size. At the time of the publication of this book, he was at the University of Liverpool, the Department of social science.
‘The first of the trilogy, Prosperity and Parenthood (1954), remains the place for all serious students to start when addressing this subject, and is one of very few 50-year-old history books still in use…Banks showed how the middle classes were prey to escalating consumption aspirations - ""the paraphernalia of gentility"". He found that the rising costs of secondary education for children became a crucial element in this, leading to greatly delayed marriage and ultimately the resort to birth control within marriage.’ - Simon Szreter, Obituary- Joe Banks, The Guardian, Wed 14 Dec 2005 ‘His fascinating and original study of family planning in Victorian middle-class society subjects his own slogan and everybody else’s generalization to scholarly and systematic analysis. Mr. banks has not only shown where next to turn: he has set an example of how to write social history which is both disciplined and exciting.’ - Asa Briggs, The New Statesman
